These allowed a "Wave shape CV" to produce a Sync Bend on a single oscillator by increasing the control current to the integrator, whilst using the MCU to detect a integrator reset using a on-chip comparator as a normal VCO would. The oscillator reset could then either be triggered by the timer or the comparator, both inside the MCU. This basically gives you the effect of two oscillators with only one. The "Sync Master Osc" is sort-of hypothetical.

Yes, exactly.
